There have been a series of brazen acts of violence along Mexico’s resort-studded Mayan Riviera coast, the crown jewel of the country’s tourism industry.
In November, a shootout on the beach of Puerto Morelos, just north of Playa del Carmen, left two suspected drug dealers dead. Authorities said some 15 gunmen were from a gang that apparently disputed control of drug sales there. In late October, farther south in the laid-back destination of Tulum, two tourists — one a California travel blogger born in India and the other German — were caught in the apparent crossfire of rival drug dealers and killed.
Also Thursday, prosecutors in the north-central state of Guanajuato — long Mexico's most violent state — said seven bodies had been found burned in the bed of a pickup truck. The truck was found on the side of the road near the city of Celaya, and another body was found nearby.Copyright AP - Associated Press
